I would certainly welcome that speech, as well as the Democratic response which would go would go something like.

You squandered 1 or more trillion on a war we did not need.
You made no effort to mandate any increase in fuel efficiency and let the US companies fall behind in new technologies, bringing the possibility of another bailout.
You abrogated the responsibility for oversight, assuming that all industry s would self regulate. The phrase 'foxes to guard the hen house' come to mind.
You made no effort to rebuild jobs, or improve access to post-secondary education and training, items necessary to retool our economy.
You perpetuated the myth that growing debt to buy foreign goods was good for our economy, or that drilling in land owned in common by all Americans so that someone could sell us back oil we already owned would be more than a stopgap measure that destroys pristine land we held in trust.
You believe you did not break any laws only because you falsely assume that the Constitution exempts you from most laws, especially in the matter of Executive orders.

You stepped over any number of well qualified candidates in one of the most brutal primaries in history to get a job you were obviously not qualified for and are whining when you execrable job performance is questioned.

Good Riddance. Don't let the Oval Office doors hit you on the ass on your way out, and make sure you obey leash laws when you take Cheney with you.

I say, the above things quoted above are reasons to thank W. For example, " You squandered 1 or more trillion on a war we did not need." Democrats haven't a clue about American needs. They'd rather spend 40+years squandering a trillion trillion dollars on a war on poverty that is obviously unwinnable. We should cut and run.
"
You made no effort to mandate any increase in fuel efficiency" It's called Capitalism, and it is the engine that has made America the only place where people are dying to get in, not dying to get out. Inherent in capitalism is allowing the free market to dictate business policy, not some beaurocrat who never had any business experience in his life.(Hint-Politician) The phrase 'morons to guard the productive' come to mind.
"
You made no effort to rebuild jobs, or improve access to post-secondary education and training" Get it through your head, government can't create or rebuild jobs. It can only create an atmosphere for growth, by getting the hell out of the way, and letting the private sector do what it's supposed to do, create jobs and wealth. Over taxing and over regulating businesses stifles creativity and investment.
As far as providing access to education, any type of education, I can't find that in the constitution that the president has any authority there. In fact, the constitution gives that authority to the states. For the president or congress to get involved is something that has been done illegally for decades.
I'll stop there, because it has all been said many times over 200 years, but the democrats refuse to pay attention. As long as a large number of Americans choose to listen to liberal media propaganda, I suppose there will always be a fresh supply of useful idiots to vote for liberals.

The bigger the letters, the less likely the propaganda will like to go through.

First of all, the Iraq War is paid by credit card. And now even the credit card industry is suffering a crunch. Who's going to pay for it?

Capitalism is evidently not working to sustain lower oil costs nor wean Americans out of their bad habits. Otherwise, GM should have done what they are doing now a year ago.

'Provide common welfare' is in the preamble to the Constitution. Welfare since at least 1849 includes education.

Uh, no it isn't.... you're thinking of "promote the general welfare".

Me too. I didn't listen to my parents either - I did it until I needed glasses.

My problem also. I wrote in large letters because my vision is failing.

Seems to me they do that by keeping the text normal size and normal color until you go to post it, whereupon kaboom.
